Mountain Music [Alabama]

so these fellas are all over the place right now. they're from north carolina, and they've got a pretty unique sound. they're doing some producing and guest spotting, and they were maybe on the Grammy's this year (i didn't watch)

not sure if i like everything they do, but i like this song, and they play it with some passion.



our second offering today is a little different. i first heard these guys a few years ago on tv - they were on The Next Great American Band or whatever that show was. these guys won, but at the time they were called the Clark Brothers. They were also background members of The Clark Family Experience, who had an album and some hit singles back in 2000. Here is one of their songs under their new name, Sons of Sylvia. i've also included their audition for NGAB, so you can get an idea of their speed and skill (the music starts around 55 seconds in). if you're not fed up with them, check out their version of Gimmie Shelter by The Rolling Stones from the show - it was really good.
